Joseph Sinks

There is a striking anachronism that would make the historicity of the story of Joseph in ancient Egypt an impossible theory

- Dr Ashraf Ezzat

Throughout my life, I have heard so many weird stories that my mind just couldn't perceive them allas true. One of the weirdest and most unbelievable of them is the story of The Exodus. I could have dismissed it like any other story/tale of the remote past that didn't necessarily warrant any scrutiny or investigation to validate its authenticity or historicity, had it not been a biblical story, and had I not been Egyptian.

The challenge is that The Exodus is a biblical story, and it may be the most dramatic story ever told in the Bible. The Exodus, I dare say, is the bedrock upon which all the Judeo-Christian faith is built, and maybe also the Islamic.

If the story of The Exodus was distorted or tampered with, then all Israelite tales that followed will be deemed fake. Stories like the conquest of the Promised Land and the establishment of the Kingdom of David and Solomon in Palestine will be undermined and shaken to the core. In my research,1 (in collaboration with high profile scholars and historians) we argue that the geography of the biblical stories—and most importantly that of The Exodus—had long been tampered with and changed in the ancient biblical records.

If properly exposed, that scenario—which we validate with evidence-based findings in my book—will render the Bible, that is tucked under many warm pillows, into an ancient text of mass deception.

Most Jews, Christians and Muslims believe that the story of The Exodus is a true historical event. Most importantly, they also have no doubt whatsoever that the story of Moses and Pharaoh took place in Ancient Egypt, and this is where all those devotees went wrong.

According to our investigation, if the story of Moses and the Pharaoh was really a true historical event, it must have taken place in Ancient Arabia and not Ancient Egypt.
